BOSCASTLE SHORT MAT BOWLS CLUB WINS CORNWALL NORTHERN AREA CHAMPIONSHIP

Boscastle Short Mat Bowls Club has won this year’s Northern Area Bowls Championship, run by Cornwall County Short Mat Bowling Association.
This is a major achievement by Boscastle SMBC. The Club won last year’s Second Division Championship by a large margin, and had been newly promoted into the Premier Division this year. To win both Championships in successive years is a unique achievement.
Not only did Boscastle SMBC win, they have performed consistently well throughout the season. Out of the 16 games they played, the Club won 11, drew 1, and only lost 4. On their home mat, they remain unbeaten. None of the other Clubs in the Championship came close to matching that record.
Club Captain, Mike Lawrence said – “I am delighted that Boscastle has won the Championship. We had set our sights on consolidating our promotion to the Premier League, but our teams have been outstanding in their match play and this has been a deserved, if hard-fought, outcome to the season.
Well done to everybody!”
